Kidnapped

Hang on to your britches guys, I was kidnapped this weekend! No not by mean people, but by my own Mommy and Dee Dee. You see we were having our usual day at the pool on Sunday when we ran out of Crystal Light for Margaritas! (Eeek) Tragic right? That's what we thought too.
Dee Dee decided that we were going to travel to the General Store in Shelby Forest to check and see if they had some Crystal Light. Unfortunately, they did not have what we needed but little did I know this would only be the first stop on our little adventure.

After traveling quite a ways from the store we stopped at the boat ramp there by the river. I am always in awe of how pretty and peaceful those brown muddy waters are. While standing there over-looking a beautiful scene I decided to find my Rudy a rock to mark his resting place. I found one that took quite a bit of effort to retrieve. Victory was ours! I got my rock.

After leaving there, it was off to find some elusive lake that Dee Dee partied at when she was in high school. I was beginning to get car sick in the back seat of her SUV as she speed over hills and down through woods while constantly looking from side to side. All I could see out of my window was a very steep cliff with nothing but trees and no civilization in sight. Oh Lord. We finally reached what actually ended up being a gorgeous lake in the forest and walked around. All three of us decided it would be the perfect spot for a blanket and a book or in Dee Dee's case an audio book. ( ;) love you) I didn't even want to go on this trip but it ended up being really neat to just travel on such a pretty day that was almost too cold for the pool. Believe it or not, we ran into my great uncle and aunt while we were there. Crazy, right? Doesn't matter where we go, we run into someone we know.

I love spontaneous trips especially when we three get together. Never know what we will get into. So I didn't want to go and was basically forced at the promise of a brownie at the end of it, which was wonderful by the way. So getting kidnapped wasn't so bad.

Until next time, savor those moments that are special in their own way
